In the latest BOGEY MAN mystery... Marguerite Turnbal was a bestselling Gothic mystery writer in the 1950s. A little on the eccentric side, she had her home renovated, adding secret compartments. In her later years she told her twin daughters, Coral and Carol, that there was a treasure to be found, and she gave them only one clue to its whereabouts. Over twenty years after Marguerite's death a young woman is murdered in the empty old house. Chris Cross's parents have come for a visit. His mother, Judith, and his son, Mikey, want to solve their own mystery in true Cross family tradition. Judith, also a little eccentric, breaks into the house after seeing strange lights and finds the body - not quite the mystery she was hoping to find. The Bogey Man and his family are soon gumshoeing their way through life again, looking for a murderer and hidden treasure. Early Reader Comments: "I've been a fan of Marja McGraw's Bogey Man Mysteries from the debut of Bogey Nights. She's kept up the pace and the humor in the latest installment, They Call Me Ace, a fun read that rockets off to a fast start when Pamela's adjustment to the arrival of her in-laws is complicated by her mother-in-law finding a corpse in an abandoned house. Throw in her Bogart look-alike husband, her precocious son Ace, the two wacky daughters of the author who once owned the spooky place, secret compartments, two yellow labs and a surprise ending, and you've got a book that's sure to win McGraw more fans for this charming series that blends the plotting of Perry Mason with the humor of I Love Lucy." -Mike Orenduff, author of the Pot Thief mysteries and 2011 Lefty Award winner ..".Marja McGraw's latest in her Bogey Man Mystery series is marvelous. Her characters are interesting, deftly drawn, and absolutely delightful. Setting is so important to me enjoying a novel, and Marja takes me right into Bogey Nights-and the oh-so-interesting Turnbal House. This is the kind of mystery you just want to curl up with and be taken away to a place you enjoy visiting-populated with characters you like and want to root for. Bravo, Marja!" -M.M. Gornell, Author of the Route 66 Mysteries "Ms. McGraw has outdone herself in They Call Me Ace, her most recent Bogey Man mystery. The book combines an intriguing plot with a cast of characters you will love. Humorous and heartwarming. A top notch mystery!" -Patricia Gligor, author of Mixed Messages and Unfinished Business About the Author: Marja McGraw was born and raised in Southern California. She says that each of her mysteries contains a little humor, a little romance and A Little Murder! She and her husband now live in Arizona, where life is good.
